Charlotte Worsley doesn’t forget a face. Nor does she forget your favorite drink.

Agape Blends has been open five weeks and they already have regulars. Some stick to the first drink they had there, while others try something new.

On any given day at Agape, you may find yourself speaking to one of two owners — Charlotte Worsley or Lorraine Fowles — who just happen to be at the front counter or cooking in the kitchen.

Although the main priority at Agape is coffee, pastry and other dishes are all prepared by Worsley, with kudos to her late father’s sauce recipe found in C.T.’s Bangin’ BBQ Chicken Wrap which adds a distinct flavor to the panini and would give places like IHOP and Starbucks a run for the border.

It’s not just grilled chicken, "it’s salad, mashed potatoes, sliced tomatoes, and slamin’ coleslaw," said Worsley, who wouldn’t reveal to the PRESS, the ingredients to the "sacred" sauce.

The bar opens to coffee lovers at 7:30 a.m., but if you are looking for a caffeine break try the Caramel Apple Cider.

Topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce, the warm cider is perfectly sweet when accompanied with one of Agape’s pastries.

Hint — order the cookies for holiday parties. Accompanied by any selection list of Frappe’s, fruit smoothies and latte’s, you will be in seventh heaven.

Avid coffee lovers will come home to Queens at the coffee bar in Jamaica.

Frozen beverages, such as Worsley’s favorite coffee toffee, are almost like ice cream topped with whipped cream and nuts.

When you’re looking for a good place to conduct a business lunch or just get acquainted with a new friend, the classy establishment blends the mood with soothing sounds of gospel or jazz, giving life to the artwork of the so cool coffee beans that wear sunglasses.

Labeling Agape Blends as a place for good food would be an understatement.

The full course meals offered here are a cut above any restaurant I’ve been to in New York as well as in my travels across the United States.

Leaving no stone unturned, I tried the soup appetizer of the day.

The chicken soup, corn and pasta fagioli, are like none to be found in any can, nor are they packed with salt.

As love outpours from the kitchen into the Chicken-n-Waffles, also made by Worsley.

"Aunt Jemima has nothing on these belgian waffles," she said.

As they seemed to melt in my mouth, I couldn’t resist trying C.T.’s Bangin’ BBQ Chicken, made from the extended menu, offered on weekends.

Try these items until 3 p.m. weekdays, or wait until weekends when the festivities begin.

Worsley’s son Adrian is a keyboardist and songwriter with a newly released gospel CD called "My Season," with songs sung by DJ Coleman. Adrian will be performing along with Worsley’s percussionist husband on December 28th at the café.
